They said a slave could not surpass her master… They said a wife is the property of her husband… They said women had no place in a ‘man’s world’... Three courageous women choose to break the rules... to follow their hearts, l...
Sugar and Spice
What do you do if you’ve been a workaholic most of your life and then suddenly, that all-consuming focus is gone—sold overnight for a tidy sum! Great position to be in, right? Yes…. But now what?

The Jukebox of Life
This memoir was written because it has been in my head for most of my adult life. All of my hopes and dreams and fears were secrets. When I finally realized this, they had to come out, and I began to write. Some of this started in 1977 when I worked as an assistant professor in anesthesia and surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, FL, which is where, more importantly, I spent more than four months with my 31-year-old brother in an intensive care unit before he died from a car accident. While with him, he taught me much about life’s sudden and tragic consequences. Years later, I had the opportunity to give a presentation about what I would say if I only had 30 minutes to live as par...

From writer Kate Reed Petty and illustrator Andrea Bell, comes a story about corruption, pollution, and freedom of the press, and the young journalist at the center of it all.

The Hydrogen Jukebox
Baudelaire's famous description of "the best criticism" as "entertaining and poetic, not coldly analytic," lives in the essays of Peter Schjeldahl. Schjeldahl self-consciously continues the modern tradition of art criticism crafted by poet-critics, providing a sharp perspective on individual artists, their work, art-world events, and new creative directions. He challenges established views, and his infectious passion for art continually engages the reader. In essays on Rothko, Munch, Warhol, Dubuffet, Nauman, Sherman, Salle, de Kooning, Guston, Ruscha, and Koons, Schjeldahl skillfully juggles theory and analysis in exploring cultural context and technique. His writings, free of the contortions of some critical prose and characterized by a sustained focus on works of art, map the contemporary art scene in New York (with occasional forays to Los Angeles and elsewhere), cataloguing the colorful personalities, cultural attractions, and ethical hazards of the art world. It's a fast, fun trip, with arguments that fold back upon themselves in surprising revelations and reversals of the author's opinion. There is never a dull moment for those with an eye on contemporary art.
Jukebox Queen Of Malta
The Jukebox Queen of Malta is an exquisite and enchanting novel of love and war set on an island perilously balanced between what is real and what is not. It's 1942 and Rocco Raven, an intrepid auto mechanic turned corporal from Brooklyn, has arrived in Malta, a Mediterranean island of Neolithic caves, Copper Age temples, and fortresses. The island is under siege, full of smoke and rubble, caught in the magnesium glare of German and Italian bombs. But nothing is as it seems on Malta. Rocco's living quarters are a brothel; his commanding officer has a genius for turning the war's misfortunes into personal profit; and the Maltese people, astonishingly, testify to the resiliency of the human spirit. When Rocco meets the beautiful and ethereal Melita, who delivers the jukeboxes her cousin builds out of shattered debris, they are drawn to each other by an immediate passion. And, it is their full-blown affair that at once liberates and imprisons Rocco on the island. In this mesmerizing novel, music and bombs, war and romance, the jukebox and the gun exist in arresting counterpoint in a story that is a profound and deeply moving exploration of the redemptive powers of love.
The Cerebral Jukebox
"She could see to the horizon to where the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges formed necklaces. So writes Susan Margulies Kalish in The Cerebral Jukebox, her first collection of poetry. With an astute eye for the telling detail, she evokes her childhood in Manhattan s Lower East Side. Stuyvesant Town, a middle-class housing development of a hundred look-alike buildings, became her mid-city haven during the baby boom that followed World War II. Her favorite jukebox hits of the Fifties filter through free verse vignettes, recalling a time of innocence, while the songs of the Sixties echo the turbulence of her coming of age in a time of great change. In succeeding sections she celebrates family, travel, and historical connection, bringing the book s jukebox journey full circle. Complete with the author s illustrations that eloquently weave together family and neighborhood photographs throughout, The Cerebral Jukebox shares unforgettable recollections from one woman s life as she matures from childhood to adulthood in the greatest city in the world.""
